/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Do you really have to turn yourself into a girl(or a CRINGE drag queen for 99% of males without the right genetics ie westerners) for crossplaying?

What if you were a fit 5'8 manlet with a slender waist but wide shoulders/chest and a male face that's more on the neutral/slightly feminine side of the masculine meter.

Im aiming for "this is obviously a guy, but he still looks nice" when I go for an astolfo, worst case I can wear one of those XD flu masks to hide almost all my masculine features below the eye level.
